ALARM OUTPUT NOTIFICATION
To configure which events cause DVXNotify to trigger the normally open alarm
output, complete the following steps (you must be logged on to MasterControl
with Administrator or Supervisor permissions):
1.
Open the Plugin Properties window by clicking the MCPlugin icon in the
system tray, and then select the DVXNotify tab (refer to Figure 63).
2.
Make sure Disable Alarm Output Notification is not selected.
3.
Select the Minimum Latch Time—the minimum number of seconds that
the alarm output will be triggered when the selected events occur. If the
event is shorter than the Minimum Latch Time, the alarm output is trig-
gered for the duration of this setting (or until you click Reset Alarm Out-
put); if the event is longer than the Minimum Latch Time, the alarm out-
put is triggered for the duration of the event. Alternatively, you can select
Manual Reset Required, which requires you to click Reset Alarm Output
to deactivate the alarm output.
4.
Under Delay Between Alarms, select the minimum amount of time (in
seconds) between output trigger activations. If a second alarm occurs
before this amount of time has elapsed after the end of the first trigger,
the second alarm is ignored.
5.
In the tree on the right side of the tab, select from the following condi-
tions and actions that can trigger the alarm output:
•
Alarm Activation. Select the alarm inputs for DVXNotify to moni-
tor for activation. If the Minimum Latch Time equals zero, the alarm
output is triggered until the alarm input is deactivated.
•
Video Signal Loss. Select the camera inputs for DVXNotify to moni-
tor for video signal loss. If the Minimum Latch Time equals zero, the
alarm output is triggered until the video is restored to the camera
input.
•
Video Scene Loss. Select the camera inputs for DVXNotify to moni-
tor for scene loss, which means that the video signal is still present,
but the camera sees only one consistent color (if it is covered or the
lens is painted black, for example). If the Minimum Latch Time equals
zero, the alarm output is triggered until the camera is returned to
normal operation.
